I have been downloading since I got the net and had a burner for 3 years, but with dial up it would take so long to download a full CD I still purchased a fair share. (I would mostly just burn some CD's with various songs every once in a while) Now that I have cable I plan on doing more burning than before. If it's a band I really like (for example: Rascal Flatts) I will still buy the CD, but when i can get songs at 30 seconds apiece, why not save money.
